Chapter 223 Chanzhou's Warning

As early as when Yang Bing and the other two were killed, Liu Chengyou appointed Li Hongyi as the governor of Zhenning Army and ordered him to take office to wait for an opportunity to kill Wang Yin! Liu Chengyou knew that his uncle was cowardly, so he secretly ordered the envoy official Meng Ye to go to supervise, and then went to Yedu to pass on the order after he killed Wang Yin.

Liu Chengyou was not young, but he was very accurate in looking at people this time. Then Li Hongyi did not dare to take action! When Li Hongyi took office, he only brought 500 personal soldiers. Although he was known as a military governor, he could not command the various troops of the Zhenning Army as soon as he took office. Instead, Wang Yin, who led the troops to the border, had an advantage in military strength, which made Li Hongyi very afraid.[]

Meng Ye urged several times, and Li Hongyi stopped him on the pretext that the time had not come. He seized the time to rectify the army, hoping to integrate the resources of the Zhenning Army and shock Wang Yin's troops. Wang Yin was not clear about it, and he thought that the uncle was determined to be the border and felt that his job was to station the border and could not be surpassed by this playboy, so he ordered the soldiers of his troops to wait for the battle and be on guard. However, Li Hongyi saw that Wang Yin's troops were very cautious, so he did not dare to take action.

Wang Zhengzhong knew that Wang Yin had a good relationship with Shi Hongzhao, and thought he had been beheaded by the emperor, so he explained to the three messengers sent to them in every way, asking them to be careful of the local garrison in Chanzhou. Especially Wang Zhengyi, the leader, was repeatedly reminded by Wang Zhengzhong.

The three of them stopped all the way, but they ran to death with six war horses and rushed to Chanzhou. They were about to buy horses and go to Yedu, but found that there were not many good horses sold at the Chanzhou market. If they had the existing tired horses, it would be difficult for the three of them to arrive in Yedu in time.

The three of them were very worried and discussed while having dinner. At this time, they suddenly heard the diners telling him that Wang Yin was still in office, and the three of them were very surprised.

Wang Zhengyi suddenly had an idea. He whispered to the other two: "I am an ordinary son of the Wang family. I am idle every day and can't eat. It was not until I met my lord that I was promoted. Not only did I get promoted, but I also had to marry and have children. In the past, the lord understood my newlyweds and left me in Suizhou. I came to Kaifeng Prefecture after my lord's wedding last year. I felt it was difficult to be outside. For such a lord, Wang Zhengyi was willing to sacrifice his life and shed blood! Now Wang Yin is still in charge of Chanzhou. You two drove the four war horses out of the city quickly, and I went to Wang Yin's camp to warn. If Wang Yin is indeed free to move, I can ask him to mobilize fast horses from the garrison in Chanzhou and rush to Yedu to call the police in time. If Wang Yin has been imprisoned in secret, if you report the news, you will not be able to delay the major event!"

Everyone put life and death aside, and tried their best to go to Yedu to report the news. The other two were not polite, so they secretly bowed to Wang Zhengyi, bought a lot of dry food from the restaurant, and rode a horse away. Wang Zhengyi waited here for half an hour, and then got up and went to Wang Yin's camp.

Wang Yin was handling military affairs in the camp at this time, and suddenly received a notice that Wang Zhengyi, the former subordinate of the cavalry general of Dong Zunhui, was ordered to visit.

Wang Yin was very surprised. Dong Zunhui was just a fifth-rank Ranger general. It is said that he was highly valued by Guo Wei and knew how to reason. How could he send someone here rashly now? The curious Wang Yin immediately summoned Wang Zhengyi.

After Wang Zhengyi entered the tent, he immediately asked Wang Yin to withdraw and follow the crowd and cried loudly. Wang Yin was very surprised and quickly asked about the situation. Seeing that his behavior did not seem to be imprisoned, Wang Zhengyi stopped crying and whispered: "Don't you know yet? The emperor has taken action in Kaifeng Prefecture, and Shi Hongzhao and other adults have encountered an unexpected accident! The Kaifeng Prefecture is now full of blood. It is said that the emperor has sent secret envoys to the surrounding areas, asking them to kill the trusted generals of the four auxiliary ministers!"

Wang Yin was shocked and jumped up from several cases and even slapped them to the ground. When Wang Yin's personal soldiers heard the movement, they hurriedly entered the tent to check. Wang Yin immediately ordered: "Go out! Be careful, no one should be allowed to stay within five feet of the tent!"

The personal soldiers took the order out, and Wang Yin asked Wang Zhengyi for specific details. The more he heard, the more surprised he was, many things were not fabricated by outsiders. It seemed that Wang Zhengyi did not make up. There was indeed a big deal in Kaifeng Prefecture. I, Wang Yin, have always been in a friendly relationship with Lord Shi Hongzhao. Maybe Li Hongyi has a secret order to deal with me now! No wonder Li Hongyi's troops have been on high alert recently. It turned out that it was because of this. It was just because I had many soldiers and Li Hongyi did not dare to act rashly!

Wang Zhengyi said to Wang Yin again: "Sir, I heard that your family has been taken into custody by Li Hongjian, and there is no worries about life for the time being. But Guo Shuai's whole family has been killed by Liu Zhu and Zhao Kuangyin's troops. We have done our best to rescue Guo Shuai's daughter Le'an. Now that I am here, I just hope that the adults can provide me with a few fast horses, so that I can go to Yedu to report the message."

Wang Zhengyi also raided an ambush here, concealing the fact that Yi Ge'er was rescued. When Wang Yin heard this, he believed everything Wang Zhengyi said. He paced back and forth for a few steps and said to Wang Zhengyi: "This guy, it's been difficult for you to sneak out of Kaifeng Prefecture, and he came to call the police day and night. He was exhausted. Let's do this. You have a rest here, and I will confront Li Hongyi immediately. If it is true, I will immediately send a large group of troops to escort you to Yedu. What do you think?"

Wang Zhengyi nodded repeatedly, but raised concerns about directly confronting Li Hongyi. Wang Yin laughed: "After all, I have been in Chanzhou for many days. How could I compare to Li Hongyi who just came here? Don't worry!"

After ordering people to lead Wang Zhengyi to rest, Wang Yin changed into a blue dress and sent someone to invite Li Hongyi to the Qingshi slope outside the city for a banquet.

Li Hongyi was very puzzled when he received the news, but he had also heard that the place of Qingshipo was surrounded by flat ground, so Wang Yin could not set up an ambush. Li Hongyi was also interested in investigating Wang Yin, so he agreed happily, but he put two sets of iron armor under his coat and suddenly became a fat man.

After the two met, Wang Yin grabbed Li Hongyi's collar and whispered: "You have done a good job. Guo Shuai has sent me a messenger. He has already known the affairs of Kaifeng Prefecture! Guo Shuai's army is about to go south, so I want to see how you explain it to him!"

Li Hongyi's face changed after being cheated by Wang Yin. He was so cowardly and fearful that he had no time to think too much, so he told the emperor's orders. Even the emperor's secret envoy Meng Ye was betrayed by Li Hongyi!

Wang Yin secretly called for luck, immediately ordered people to arrest Meng Ye, and found the emperor's secret decree on the spot. After a quick look, Wang Yin secretly said that he was lucky and immediately put Li Hongyi under house arrest. At the same time, he immediately ordered his deputy Chen Guangsui to carry the seized secret decree and escort Wang Zhengyi to Yedu camp to call Guo Wei.
